A DRIVE BY........

I discovered a new housing addition in our town that just BLOWS MY MIND...

All the houses are NEW VINTAGE and now I know what kind of house I would buy if I ever

WIN THE LOTTERY !!

You get the magnificent looks of an OLDER HOME but it's all BRAND NEW !

love it .....

JUST take a look at these BEAUTIES...

They are built VERY close together...

BILL wouldn't like that part of it but......

I WOULD JUST LOVE IT !!

Now, I'm not planning on BUYIN' one of these lovelies...I'm just sayin'.........

OH...HONEY !!

All this and painted BLUE to boot !

*SIGH

MY FAVORITE !

HAPPY FALL....

FOR SALE !!! *double SIGH

IS THIS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF??

We're talking 'need a maid' here.... this is so HUGH !

Note that precious fence..no PLASTIC here !!

Yellow must be a popular color because there were lots of yellow beauties....

ooo and i love yellow !! Especially yellow HOUSES !

*sighhhhhhh

*covet

The developer even made the streets narrow like they were in the "old days".......

It was so much fun, driving through this adorable neighborhood....

ladies were outside, tending their landscaping and they were so friendly and would wave and smile....I told one that I was taking photos for my BLOG and she said, "Well, I don't know what a BLOG is but I am going to plant some new shrubs so will you come back and take another picture?"

Don't those just tug at your heart! Those of us who love nesting envision those houses in our minds for sure. I have a favorite house (just one) that I kind of stalk. Must admit that I drove by it all times of day and night. Now, if there was a whole neighborhood I would be arrested!! :)

Morning BJ...Loved all of these beauties but if I had to choose just one...it'd be the Victorian with the semi-circle porch...you know, when I waa a realtor (100 years ago) it was known that a yellow house would sell quicker than another...Hmmm ;-) Bo

Ohhhh I am dying here BJ....I'd be right next door to you girl...We have some new subdivisions being developed just like that here and I am drive thru them and I know the owners are probably thinking I am staking out the neighborhood but I just can't quit looking at them....they are my dream home...all the charm of old days with all the modern conveniences of today an a new toilet no one has ever used ...ahhhhhh glory! lol lol Loved this post girl...love ya!!!! have a beautiful weekend!

DROOL...DROOL...DROOOOOOOL....DROOOOL. Oh to have a big honkin porch like most of those had!!! YUMMERSAlthough I'm with Bill...I would like a bunch more space between my house and the neighbors...but boy are those beauties!!! Have a gorgeous houselusting day!

Oh.my.goodness! If you buy one, BJ, I'll buy one and we can be neighbors. I would 'fit' right in there, too. Well, not my pocketbook - my dreams. Thanks for sharing these wonderful homes with us. ~Adrienne~

Good Morning Sunshine... Wow what magnificent homes... I have always dreamed of having a home just like one of those... Well maybe when we ever stop full timing in the RV I can get something like that (much smaller of course) out in the country of North Florida. So for now I guess we can just pretend that is the neighborhood of Blogville... LOL LOL

BJ, Those are gorgeous! I love the one with the porch in the middle facing a corner and steps going up each side of the porch....oh my heavens...I would love to see inside some(all) of them!!! I bet they are breathtaking inside! Nancy

Hey bj! Girl, you found my dream neighborhood...hey, if we win the lottery, we can be neighbors. Ya know what, Robert is like Bill in that he would not like neighbors this close, but I'm like you...I think I would love it....being able to take a stroll around the quaint streets and admire everyone's flower beds and porches . That would be so fun! I really enjoyed this post. Hope you have a great weekend!xoxo,Queenie

I love those new "vintage" homes. Can you imagine all the vintage wonderfulness without any leaky pipes, old wallpaper in need of stripping or drafty rooms? Heaven. Thanks for coming by and entering to win my jewelry giveaway. Good luck winning your choice of the gorgeous blue necklace. That's one of my favs too. God Bless, Celene

OHooo BJ, I have loved taking a tour of homes with you in this neat neighborhood..I would live there in a heartbeat.. I really love the house that has double stairways from the porch..thanks for sharing...

BEAUTIFUL! I love the architecture of old homes, especially the victorian homes, but oh, the upkeep! This is a perfect solution! I am loving those houses with the big porches and verandas! Sounds like a nice neighborhood too.
